Many nations of the world celebrate their independence every year. It is like a ritual that is observed in commemoration of their independence from colonial or oppressive masters. Each country has her special day of the year to celebrate the independence.

The children of Israel were once slaves in Egypt. God then led them out of slavery through Moses their leader. Independence means freedom to exercise your human rights. This is the physical meaning. In the spiritual, it is different. Independence means total deliverance from sin and all its influences. No one can become free without knowing and accepting the Truth. This Truth is God's word which Jesus represent. Jesus is the word of God that was from the beginning and is forever.

To be free therefore, a sinner must take these steps: Acknowledge his sinfulness. Repent and confess his sins to God. Pray for forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of Jesus. Ask Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour and Lord. Continue with the Truth that sets free by praying every day, reading, meditating on and obeying God's word. Remember that it is only those that know the Truth, believe the Truth, obey the Truth that shall be free indeed.
